Darwin Nunez has opened up about his struggles at Liverpool while on international duty with Uruguay, expressing his desire to momentarily put aside his club challenges. Despite Liverpool’s strong push for the Premier League title this season, Nunez has faced a difficult period, slipping down the pecking order following Arne Slot’s arrival and struggling to deliver consistent performances.
The £85 million forward has been the subject of speculation, with Liverpool reportedly exploring options to strengthen their attack, including links to Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak. Meanwhile, Nunez himself has attracted significant interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with Uruguayan outlet El Pais, Nunez admitted that he is seeking solace with the national team, aiming to "forget a little about what’s happening at Liverpool." The 25-year-old acknowledged his struggles but remains determined to work harder and regain his form.
Nunez reflected on his recent performances, stating, "I’m happy thinking about the national team, enjoying every moment with it. These are phases you go through in football, and I’m not someone who gives up when things don’t go my way. I’ll keep working to earn my place."
He also referenced his assist for Harvey Elliott’s goal against PSG as a turning point in his confidence but admitted that maintaining consistency has been a challenge. "After a good moment, you can hit a slump, but I’m here to help my teammates and contribute to the national team," Nunez said. "I’m mentally strong, with my family’s support, and I’ll keep working to bring joy to everyone."
As Liverpool continues its pursuit of the Premier League title, Nunez’s future at the club remains uncertain, with mounting speculation over potential replacements. For now, the Uruguayan forward is focused on rediscovering his form and making an impact both domestically and internationally.
